Russian term or phrase: травимость

Поскольку процесс азотирования реализуется при температуре от 800-900 до 400-450°С, структура сформированной нитридной зоны включает расположенную за сплошной зоной светлой травимости сплошную зону тёмной травимости.

I presume this has something to do with травление, but I can't find the word anywhere.

\"травимость\" is the feature of a material to be etched by certain solutions.

Grading comment

Thank you. I think etchability is the most likely, and pickability also possible. Both words offend my sensibilities as to what the English language ought to be, but there you are, they exist, and ничего не поделаешь. :-(

Thanks also to Vladimir for his input.
